SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Codex CLI delegation automates coding tasks by shifting execution to an autonomous coding agent, accelerating feature work, refactoring, PR reviews, and batch issue fixes with minimal manual input.

Core Features & Use Cases

One-Shot Tasks: run codex in terminal for quick code changes and explorations.
Background Mode (Long Tasks): start Codex tasks in background and monitor progress.
PR Reviews: clone repos and review PRs programmatically.
Batch PR Reviews: handle multiple PRs in parallel.
Parallel Issue Fixing with Worktrees: manage multiple issues across repos simultaneously.

Quick Start

Run a one-shot Codex task in a git repository from the WHOX terminal.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate code reviews for multiple pull requests in parallel?▼

Automating batch PR reviews involves cloning repositories and running programmatic checks across multiple pull requests in parallel. The Codex CLI orchestrates these actions within a Git-enabled workspace to accelerate review cycles.

Can I fix multiple git issues across different repositories at the same time?▼

Yes, parallel issue fixing uses git worktrees to manage multiple issues across different repositories simultaneously. The coding agent orchestrates these autonomous tasks to apply batch fixes with minimal manual input.

Do I need a configured OpenAI API key to run codex in the terminal?▼

Yes, a configured OpenAI API key is required to run codex in the terminal. You also need Codex installed, a working git repository, and a WHOX environment to execute terminal commands with PTY and proper sandboxing.

What is the best way to delegate long-running coding tasks to an autonomous agent?▼

Background mode allows you to start long-running Codex tasks and monitor their progress. This delegates feature development and refactoring to an autonomous coding agent, accelerating work with minimal manual input.

Why does running codex for automation require a WHOX environment with PTY?▼

A WHOX environment with PTY and proper sandboxing is required to run terminal commands safely. This setup ensures the autonomous coding agent can execute Git-enabled workspace actions without compromising the system.
